 # PARTICIPANTS
 membership: To join the community, a person must request membership in a particular Circle, and the Circle's members can respond as they see fit.
 removal:
-roles: Each Circle chooses one representative to the Council.
+roles: The Circle can create Roles and assign them authority over specified sub-domains. Each Circle should have one Role that represents it on the Council. Members can hold more than one Role within or across Circles.
 limits: Circles should rotate their representative to the Council at each Council meeting so that every member of the Circle has an equal opportunity to participate.
 
 # POLICY
 rights: 
-decision: Policies are determined by consent within the Circle assigned to the relevant domain. Consent means that no more than one-tenth of the relevant group presents a serious objection to a policy. Circles may be self-organized among members, provided they do not overlap with the domains of other Circles. In a Council, changes may be made by consent over the Circles' domains. Circles may also elect members to Roles by consent, thus assigning them to oversee specific sub-domains.

Circles may be self-organized among members, provided they do not overlap with the domains of other Circles. In a Council, changes may be made by consent over the Circles' domains. By consent, Circles may also establish Roles, modify them, and appoint members to them. Role-holders are understood to have authority over their Roles' sub-domains, but they are expected to consult with anyone affected by their decisions.
 implementation: Circles, as well as individual Role-holders, are responsible for implementing the decisions they make over their respective domains.
 oversight: Circles should evaluate the actions of the Role-holders within them, and the Council should evaluate the Circles within it.
